Demetri Evan Martin (born May 25, 1973) is an American comedian, actor, artist, musician, writer, and humorist. He is best known for his work as a stand-up comedian, being a contributor on The Daily Show, and his Comedy Central show Important Things with Demetri Martin.
Early life
Martin was born on May 25, 1973 to a Greek American family in New York City, New York, the son of nutritionist Lillian and Greek Orthodox priest Dean C. Martin (now deceased). He grew up in Toms River, New Jersey, and has a younger brother named Spyro.
Martin graduated from Yale University in 1995. During his time there, he wrote a 224-word poem about alcoholism as a project for a fractal geometry class, which became a well known palindromic poem. He was also a member of the Anti-Gravity Society, whose members juggle objects on Sunday evenings on Yale's Old Campus.
Although Martin was accepted into Harvard Law School, he went to New York University School of Law after he received a full scholarship. Martin withdrew from law school before the start of his final year, opting to pursue comedy over finishing his Juris Doctor.

Thought Process
Since the day I left you there,
I lost my way,
Each time I close my eyes I think of you.
It's too late, too Late, too Late for me to say I'm sorry,
I'm sorry now,
Too late, too late, too late for me to call you mine.
Save the day,
this I know,
Why you go,
I'm feeling so low,
and I wanted to show,
That I changed,
So please don't go today.
I know, I know, I know
What was I thinking?
I'm so sorry that I lost it all again
I know I fucked it up this time
Just another chapter in this story of my life.
I know you don't care what I say,
Should I even try to make you listen,
I know when I miss time,
One more chapter in this story of my life.
Its too late, too late, too late,
For me to say I'm sorry,
